Thanks Steffen, when can we expect this in the shops? Also does it indicate what decal options will be included?

Ciao

Hi Luciano

no info on decals yet .. I would say "Spirit of Berlin" is likely, but that is just my personal opinion (it is kind of a German subject and she was in Berlin at this years ILA). As the model is pretty advanced it will hopefully hit the shops before Xmas ... but I can't promise anything.

BTW my friend Volker also has test shots of the Ju 88 in 1/32 .. he will take pictures as time and weather permits (tomorrow is a holiday here in Germany ... fingers crossed)

all the best

Steffen

This might seem crazy, but anything in the works for a 1/72 or 1/48 C-17???

I saw a built one of these at the Revell stand at this years IPMS UK Nationals last weekend. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures but it does look nice. The only thing that may concern me is the raised panel lines on the fuselage.

Spoke to the Revell staff at Telford and they informed me that this is due for a early december release across europe.

Crew,
The thing I get the biggest charge out of is ..... Hannant's already has 2 Decal sheets produced and available. 1 Sheet for US birds, and one sheet for all other users ! This is different - the aftermarket folks are beating the original manufacturer to the market place !

Anyone purchased these decals yet ? Obviously they are anticipating this model is going to sell quite well. And since I have one on pre-order, I'm in the line myself.

take it easy, Bruce
